Join Our Study on the Means of Grace

News


As we continue in this season of Lent, you are invited to reflect upon what John Wesley called God's "means of grace," in a special online study every Tuesday evening through 31 March.

In the teachings of John Wesley, one of the founders of the Methodist movement, we find what are called the Three General Rules, or Three Simple Rules: do no harm, do good, stay in love with God.

In the third of these rules, Wesley refers to what he terms the "means of grace," ordinary channels through which God blesses us with love and mercy. These means of grace are: celebrating worship, hearing God's Word, receiving Holy Communion, praying, studying Scripture, and fasting. 

Every Tuesday evening in Lent, from 19:00 to 20:15 via Zoom, we shall focus on one of these six means of grace. Each session will begin with a video interview with a pastor or lay leader from one of the congregations of the UMC in Austria, on one of the means of grace. Following the interview, we shall enjoy a lively discussion of the themes and questions raised in the conversation.

For more information, or to receive the Zoom link for our weekly study, please contact me at esumc@emk.at.

We warmly invite you to join us in exploring God's grace and its blessings in our lives as Christians!

Yours in Christ, Pastor John
